I am working on a script file, and am having trouble. In C shell I am used
to having a foreach command to look at a series of items.
In this case I want to look at each file, and if it fits a certain criteria
I will perform a series of commands on it. But looking through the
different help books, I can’t seem to find a similar command for the QNX sh.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben
Ben,
This script is similar to ls. You can do more complicated things with
$file
with commands such as “if [ expression ] ; then”. Recently, I refreshed my
memory on bourne shell scripts with www.about.com and searched for bourne
shell loop.

Is the equivalent structure under ksh.
